About ASITA

Launched in Jakarta on January 7th 1971, the Association of The Indonesia Tours & Travel Agencies (ASITA) is the only legally acknowledged non-profit alliance of Indonesian travel entrepreneurships. Operating under the RI Law No. 9/ 1990 regarding Tourism, ASITA provides headship to the communal efforts of Indonesian travel agencies.

The objectives and visions of ASITA are as follows:

To serve and protect the interests of its members

To mediate any tourism-related interests, both for its member and external parties.

To preserve the harmonic relationship and cooperation within its membership and externally, with both tourism-related and non-tourism-related parties.

To improve the image of the Indonesian tourism industry by ensuring satisfaction and security, while also protecting and guaranteeing the needs of the customers and other parties that are involved within the Association, without sacrificing the needs of its members.

All facets of travel agency operation are represented within ASITA’s partnership, which provides a number of services to the tourism and travel industry.
